THE New York Times, becoming some
what curious about the census, the other
day. and anxious to know what had be
come of it, made inquiries of the officials
on this point. The answer was not eu>
couraging There remains but three
years before another census will be taken,
yet large proportion of the statistics
collected in 1880 have not yet been pub
lished; and most of those now being
published are of little value, being out
of date. and later figures having been
gwen to the public. The statistics OF
churches. libraries and schools are not
regarded as reliable or even approxi>
mately complete, and therefore will not
be printed, though they could have
been obtained from official sources with
little trouble. All this time and money,
therefore. have been wasted. There are
four volumes-statistics of power and ma
chinery, social statistics of cities, statis-
tics of the deaf, dumb, blind and insane,
and statistics of mechanical appliances
not yet printed, and no one can tell when
they will be, as the money has given out
and congress has made no appropriation
for the purpose, though the total amount
appropriated to date has been IS, 793. 970
1t is safe to say that the census of 1896
will be well under way before that OF
1880 is fully out.
